Overview

There’s a revolution sweeping the product development world: agile methods. Some Product Managers (sometimes called the Business Owner of the system, for internal systems) and development teams have been applying these practices for years, and they are now spreading worldwide, from London to Los Angeles.

In Scrum, the most popular agile method, a key role is Product Owner. This is a product management role with specific responsibilities in Scrum: responsible for the ROI, release date, release content, and choice of goals each Sprint. In this practical, information-and-tips-packed seminar you will learn the key ideas and practices of agile development, aimed at Product Managers and the Scrum Product Owner.
